Widespread riots after Death of George Floyd V.2

[Okajima]

Jesus Christ why is this so difficult? Everyone is acutely aware of what’s going on in the US, but when someone posts a video of something that happened in Brazil and your response is “America is a shithole country” it shows two things - 1) the person posting the video is either being deliberately misleading and provocative or didn’t do his homework, and 2) lazy people like yourself eat it up without fact checking which is just adding fuel to the fire.

My mistake. I commented on a video from Brazil. Shit America can’t be that bad.

*watches news / looks at social media / talks to American friends*

The U.S. is an actual shithole.

The police have gotten out of control which has sparked this entire thing. Them being aggressive and violent with people who are not threats is the whole problem here. Shooting at people on their porches is not acceptable plain and simple.

Spoiler

*It doesn't matter that it was paintballs

You forgot paintballs again.

If they're not allowed to order people on porches to go inside, then what stops rioters from just walking onto someone's porch every time the police walk by?

The police don't know who's who or what's what. You, a regular person not rioting, look the same as a rioter. The only way to stop the madness is for everyone to go inside.

Other conservatives here, how do you think Trump has handled the situation?

Personally, I think he has done an abysmal job. Half of his comments are incidenary, and other half are just blaming local Dems. The latter would be fine after the riots, but we don't need shitflinging in the middle of the thing. Its making the Dems not want to lean on federal assistance since Trump will just claim he is cleaning up their mess.

Well the riots and looting are mostly in Dem states and their state governments are not doing a good job at stopping it. If they don't want to lean on federal assistance because of pride, then that says more about them than about Trump.

I believe that was the National Guard not the police

Distinction noted. Same concept tho.

Whatever the outcome of these riots, I know for a fact that these protests are going to result another Trump victory. All these people protesting were always voting democrats; anyone sitting on the fence will be dismayed at this violence and will lean towards voting Republican.

What can Trump do? There's no middle ground with the 'protesters'. Their entire narrative is based on a fake narrative of an epidemic of racist police that don't exist. If the racist police don't exist, what policies can Trump do to get rid of something that doesn't exist?

Here is an example of the knee to neck maneuver used by cops last night. Seattle PD

anyone have any knowledge of that technique used by cops besides just what they have read since the Floyd death?

Knowledge of the technique? The problem with it is the blood flow to your brain goes through your neck. If a cop compresses the artery in your neck with his shin bone, and there's no ref to save you, well, good luck with that.

the Fed Ex truck driver who was attacked by a mob

Wasnt that because he kept on driving?

Not.

Well.

While the Whitehouse was under threat, he's just tweeting, and has to flee to a bunker and then Camp David.

A leader with bigger balls would have ordered the secret service to fire warning shots with live rounds. It would have made the rioters flee, rather than our President flee to safety.

One of my biggest complaints about Trump, and 95% of his supporters would agree with this, is he can't fucking shut up. If he wants to tweet, fine, that's his right. But after all the fuck ups he's had he might have learned by now he should have someone he trusts and more eloquent review them before he presses 'SEND.' It would have avoided many miscommunications.

Like when he posted 'When the looting starts the shooting starts.' Jesus fucking Christ... are you fucking kidding me?

In many cases Trump is loading the gun Democrats and the media use to shoot him.

No. He was surrounded and terrorists were crawling onto His door and cab

it is questionable that it was blocking the carotid artery. But I do realize that the move can be used in that fashion and sometimes is on purpose to render an exceptionally violent resister unconscious. But according to the coroner the death was not caused by strangulation (blocking blood-flow).

I am, however, open to the possibility that the cop was intentionally attempting to 'sleep' him. We'd need to see the missing minutes of footage to decide if such a move was even remotely warranted.

There is a genuine possibility that the cop actually thought that he had choked him out and was assuming that he was fine.

Not well imo.

I mean, where the fuck is he, besides tweeting one liners.

There has been a dearth of leadership from him.

Yea that tweet about "when the looting starts..." I wonder if he's high when he tweets this shit.

Does he not realize what hes doing or saying?

Or is this part of a more elaborate set up? Like playing rope a dope?

He needs to hire someone to proof read his shit before he hits "submit "

Embedded media from this media site is no longer available

They are just “exercising their frustrations”

 

[PolishHeadlock2]

Well that's just bad luck

 

[Fugazy]

They aren't starting a new country. And I don't like that innocent people are being hurt and their property destroyed. But this is a long time coming.

Years of systematic abuse and mistreatment by the government and the police, loss of jobs and opportunities, among other things.

We just watched as our Congress gave the wealthiest of the wealthy almost 5 trillion in stimulus packages. We watched as the Fed artificially inflated the market by trillions. The Fed chairman essentially said that he could just print as much money as he sees fit but it always ends up in the pockets of the wealthiest.

Billionaires became 434 billion dollars richer while there are food lines in Cali (the state with the 5th largest GDP in the world). 40 million out of work.

Then we see a man seemingly killed by an indifferent and apathetic police as he and bystanders begged for his life. He called out for his mom as he breathed his last breath.

People are justifiably fucking pissed.

You suck at this.

It’s wrong buuuuut.

Also, Cali has one of the largest underclasses because of liberals. No surprise there are poor people there who need food.

White liberals are probably the most pathetic people who exist.
